It was as if a beautiful pastel window had shattered in an instance, to review the ugly world outside. Cheers turn to shreeks, dragons screaming, crying, yelling, fainting. The capsule had imploded...Hundredths of Skywings, dragonets. Were gone...Just like that, burnt alive.
It was as if something was slammed far away, and the sound hadn't yet reached him. Everything felt so, calm. But yet so tarrading. Sightless could scenes Scar tencing, his prehensile tail around his talons, his cold wings tucked in close.
Sightless abruptly came back to his senses. "Scorpion!" he cried. Sightless ran forward, only to ram straight into the metal bars. He focused...Fire is rising...Smoke billowing...Dragons fleeing...Everything was so loud. The smoke was to strong. Out of ideas, Sightless blew ice into the bars, and charged at it.
Crack! To his dismay, it worked. He tumbled in the air. He caught wind under his ice blue wings, letting him hover. Scar flew to him. "Where is she?!" Sightless commanded. "Ih-I don't know!!!" He hissed distressly. Sightless dove. "Wait! What's wrong with you?!" Scar called somewhere above him.
Sightless spread out his wings, abruptly stopping him mid dive. He could feel the heat blazing around him. He carefully made his way closer, and closer to the ground. He landed. He felt something wet on his talons. Water? He wondered. Maybe there's a river nearby! T-thats not the point Sightless! Wheres Fang?! And Scorpion?
He scensed the air. Fire, wood, burnt wood, dragons, bamboom, metal, sand, dust, fire, more fire. The rest was to hiden to scene. He kept running, h-he had to find them! He kept stumbling on scattered items, he didn't have time to figure out what they were. "Fang! Scorpion!" He cried. He herd talon steps somewhere behind him.
He whipped around. Before he could speak, it grabbed him. Sightless abruptly hissed, and lashed his whip-like tail at it. It flinched, and he suddenly felt fire near him out of nowhere. "Stupid dragonet!" It spat. "Corporate! I'll help you get your 'friends' or whatever!" It growled. He stopped, it let go of him. He was this close to attacking it, when it put his wing over him.
He felt fire blazing on it. "Now, follow me. Or should I might as well let you burn, just like them," it purred...He hesitated, then finally nodded. The figure yelled something, and he felt another shape approach them. "Lets go, now!"
